Five Star Safety Rating For 2014 Chevrolet Silverado

The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado has received a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).  It is the first pickup truck to receive this rating since the NHTSA changed their New Car Assessment Program in 2011.    The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado has many safety features, including:

• Safety Alert Seat warns the driver of potential traffic danger using directional vibration pulses from the seat cushion. The patented warning approach is tied to all of the on-board crash avoidance systems.
• Forward collision alert technology helps prevent frontal crashes by alerting the driver when the truck is closing in on a vehicle ahead too quickly, giving him or her additional time to react and avoid a crash.
• Lane Departure Warning technology alerts the driver when the truck drifts over a lane line when traveling at least 35 mph.
• Rear Vision Camera with Dynamic Guidelines allows the driver, when in reverse, to view objects directly behind the vehicle via the radio screen in the center stack, allowing for easier parking and backing maneuvers.
• New, standard lap belt pretensions in the front-seat outboard safety belts.
• Six standard air bags and 360-degree sensor system, including dual-stage frontal air bags, head-curtain side-impact air bags with rollover protection, and seat-mounted side-impact air bags.
• Trailer-sway control that works with StabiliTrak to provide the driver with additional assistance when towing a trailer. When it senses trailer sway, it intervenes with braking and/or reduced engine power to bring the trailer under control.
• Four-wheel, four-channel, antilock disc brakes (ABS) that help provide straight, more controlled stops by preventing wheel lock-up in most road conditions.
• OnStar is available, using GPS and cellular phone technology to automatically call for help in the event of crash. OnStar service also includes MyLink mobile apps, which offer vehicle information and OnStar services via the customer’s smartphone.

2014 Chevrolet Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel's Innovative Engine Enhances Performance

From Chevrolet.com:

The all-new 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel’s advanced 2.0L engine uses a variable-swirl intake system to create a “perfect storm” of air and fuel that helps enhance performance while reducing emissions.

In Cruze’s variable-swirl intake manifold, each cylinder has two separate intake ports, with one of them controlled by a valve. During variable swirl, each throttle valve varies how much it opens to create mixture-motion of air and fuel within each cylinder. General Motors’ Powertrain team devoted countless hours to calibrating the actuator to precisely open and close the valves for optimal performance.

As a result of this and other advanced powertrain technologies, Cruze’s clean diesel engine offers a segment-leading EPA-estimated 46 mpg highway and range of more than 700 miles per tank – better than any non-hybrid or gasoline-powered passenger car vehicle in America.
